Is it safe to just turn off the computer?

I'm about to build a bartop and would like to turn everything off at the same time so I was wondering if it's safe to just cut the power. Keep in mind a keyboard won't be an option and this will be a gaming only cabinet.  It won't be used for anything else. And remember I would like to turn off everything at the same time, monitor, marquee, speakers, and pc.

Under DOS, I don't see a problem with this.  Under Windows, yes.
Necro:
Not a chance.  It may work fine for awhile, but eventually somethings going to screw up.  That and your going to have a ton of temp files build up that aren't cleaned out correctly.

Best bet would be have a button setup that just shuts down windows and have everything else...uhm...wired to a switch that cuts power to everything else.

Yeah...thats it. :P

Thanks guys ;D I'm planning on using windows so oh well. I know Mamewah is able to shut down on exit but what about Game Launcher?

I was wondering if you can program your computer to shutdown by pressing 2 keystrokes at the same time.
i know you can set up your computer to shutdown by pressing CTRL+ALT+any key,but what i want is just 2 keystrokes.
Thanks
